I love "accidentally" coming home to my parents and finding my birthday presents on the kitchen counter. So many arrowheads I could puke! All these man-made arrowheads were found mostly in southern Alberta over the last 4 decades by my mother's two brothers. I took some pictures so you can share the excitement with me... detailed descriptions at the bottom!

(1) I spent most of the weekend procrastinating studying for my midterms. I did this mainly by learning new songs on the ukulele while sitting on the veranda and knitting Christmas presents.
(2) the oldest arrowhead out of the collection
(3) Letter from Elvin
"I have also given you the rattle. Dad had got this from some old Indian from the Blood Indian Reserve at Brocket, in exchange for some work he'd done. Apparently it had been handed down through time in the family. It's an original"
(4) (Left) Arrowhead made from Quartz - really rare
(5)Turquoise from Nevada. Cut, polished, and wrapped by aunt Donna
(6) Jade Arrowheads - from India
(7) Apple Coral. Cut, polished, and wrapped by aunt Donna
(8) The original rattle, dating back ~200 years

Rainbowarriors

Out of all of my dads collectibles, gadgets, and antiques - my favorite item is this book. "Ben's Guide to Hunting" which dates back to the early 1930's. This book has absolutely everything from clothing, to turtle soup, instruments, and furniture. I'm currently in the midst of making an Indian War Bonnet; using feathers from Tom the turkey. Due to my crazy schedule I'm hoping to have this baby completed by Christmas, in the mean time I'll post pictures of progression!

thank me later

I went to the home to the farm for thanksgiving weekend. Here are a few pictures of the farm and the only boys I have ever loved.

you will never come close to how I feel

Just finished first round of midterms! Here are some inspirations for the upcoming season. I am in between studying, volunteering, learning new songs on my ukulele, and many various side projects soon to come!

Raddest guy i've heard in a while, all singing/instruments done by Kevin Parker! Check out his other psychedelic stuff!

spiritual solution

Many good things to come! New tmblr, lomography, and abs. A closer look into my mysterious life. After making it onto calgaryfashion.ca blogroll, I feel the need to step my game up. I promise you will not be dissapointed. I leave you with the song that inspired this blog, by my favorite band : raining revolution

A Tin Of Sardines

I found the love of my life - La Sardina!

With its wonderful quirky, sardine can design and wide-angle lens, this camera has without doubt, stolen my heart. You will be in my loving hands in less than one week!
